Chapter 1149


    The bodyguards followed them closely behind.


    After they left, the entire square buzzed with excitement…


    “Ahh… Doesn’t Stanley Batton dote on his wife too much? He carried her out of the helicopter.”


    “If my husband were half as good as him, I wouldn’t have gotten a divorce.”


    “Who is Stanley Batton?”


    “Don’t you know who Stanley Batton is? Are you even from Country Z? He’s the young heir of


    Dragon Group…”


    “I wonder if X Quest feels enthralled every day. I’m so jealous.”


    Although X Quest and Stanley Batton were getting further away from the square, everyone was


    still reluctant to look away.

    Each of them wished they could attach their eyeballs to the two of them…


    ***


    X led Stanley and a group of bodyguards to a restaurant that was called Straw Hat Fish.


    The restaurant wasn’t very big. By then, it was already fully seated inside.


    Each table had arge pot in the center. There was a cover shaped like a straw hat on each of the


    large pots.


    With boiling pots of fish, white mist spread in all directions.


    The entire world seemed to be engulfed in a thickyer of steam.


    As soon as X and Stanley walked through the door, all eyes were on them.


    Some were stunned by their gorgeous looks, while others recognized the two of them…


    “Ahh… Isn’t this X Quest? D*mn… I wasn’t expecting myself to bump into X in a tiny,


    insignificant city like this.”


    “Is that really X Quest? Is that guy Stanley Batton? He’s so handsome. He looks even better in


    person than in videos and photos.”


    “Isn’t that the same for X? Look at them. They’re holding each other’s hand… Even their fingers


    are interlocked. They seem truly in love.”


    “Ahh… I want to post a picture on social media and Weibo… I can’t take it anymore, girls.”


    Many girls in the restaurant had already lost the ability to suppress their excitement.


    The girls at each table were frantically discussing amongst themselves in soft voices as they held


    each other’s hands.


    X could clearly hear what they were saying, but she didn’t show any emotion. Instead, she calmly


    held Stanley’s hand and walked over to a pretty waitress who was already petrified by excitement.


    “Miss, do you have a room?” X asked very politely.


    “Yes, yes… We certainly do. Both of you, pleasee with me.” The pretty waitress repeatedly


    nodded as she looked from one to the other over and over…


    “Thank you,” X said softly with a smile.


    Stanley didn’t speak the whole time. Instead, he looked around indifferently. After that, he held


    X’s hand.


    Having noticed that X’s shoces were untied, Stanley immediately bent down on one knee to


    tie her shoces for her.


    This action instantly made many single folks feel tortured. Thedies, especially, were so jealous


    that they’d nearly gonepletely mad—


    “Ahh… My head is spinning. What kind of heavenly couple is this? I’m so jealous, girls.”


    “An influential young heir like him… He actually… Actually… Bent over to tie his wife’s shoces.”


    “I’m touched, girls… I’m getting out of breath. I can’t live anymore.”


    Suddenly, the entire restaurant was buzzing with excitement.


    X instantly felt a little embarrassed.


    Meanwhile, Stanley still had a calm expression on his face. He acted as if he hadn’t done anything.


    After tying her shoces, he naturally wrapped his arm around X’s shoulders. While everyone


    watched, he led X and the group of bodyguards upstairs while following behind the pretty


    waitress.
